Re: If you own an iPhone X or older - you should throw it over the next bridge

"iOS 17.6 comes with a rather hefty 35 security fixes for serious holes in
Apple's iPhone operating system"
https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2024/07/30/ios-176-update-now-warning-issued-to-all-iphone-users/

As always, the iOS kernel & Apple's webkit caused the zero day holes.

 "The list on Apple's support page shows iOS 17.6 squashes bugs
  in the Kernel at the heart of the iPhone operating system
  as well as several flaws in WebKit, the engine that underpins
  the Safari browser."

 "Among the notable fixes, iOS 17.6 patches two flaws in the
  Kernel tracked as CVE-2024-27863 and CVE-2024-40788.

  The first issue allows an adversary to determine Kernel memory
  layout while the second could enable an attacker to cause unexpected
  system shutdown, according to Apple's support page.

  The iOS 17.6 upgrade also patches a whopping eight issues in WebKit,
  including CVE-2024-40785, which could result in a cross site scripting
  attack if you fell for maliciously crafted web content."

If you own an iPhone X or older, this is likely your last iOS
security update before you have to throw it over the next bridge.

The iPhone X is that toxic once Apple stops full support in iOS 18.
